hanyupinyin: Convert Chinese Characters into Hanyu Pinyin

Convert Chinese characters into Hanyu Pinyin (the official romanization system for Standard Chinese) with support for tones, toneless output, initials, URL slugs, and valid R variable names. The package was inspired by the now-orphaned CRAN package 'pinyin' (archived in April 2026 after the maintainer became unreachable). 'hanyupinyin' is a ground-up rewrite using the authoritative Unicode Unihan database, a vectorized engine, and modern R practices. Dictionary data are derived from the Unicode Unihan Database (Unicode Consortium, 2025) <https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr38/>.
